A standard galvanic cell is constructed in which a Cu²⁺ | Cu⁺ half cell acts as the cathode. Which of the following statements are correct?

Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials.

(Choose all that apply.)

As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Cu²⁺|Cu⁺ compartment to the other compartment.

Cu⁺ is oxidized at the cathode.

The anode compartment could be Ag⁺|Ag.

The anode reaction could be Fe -> Fe²⁺ + 2e^-.

In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Cu²⁺|Cu⁺ compartment to the other compartment.
